We know an announcement is coming Monday, and now an even bigger hint that it might spell divorce for the "Jon & Kate Plus 8" couple.

In the clip from the episode above, a solemn-looking couple -- in separate on-camera interviews -- start to explain the need for the upcoming special announcement.

"We haven't really known where we were going," Kate explains. "But we've been dealing with this for ... um ... a long time."

Over the last several weeks, persistent rumors have dogged the couple, pointing to evidence of a crumbling marriage; tabloids have reported that Jon is having an affair, while Kate has also been linked to one of her bodyguards.

Says Jon in the video: "People think I've changed, and I have changed. But I'm now the person I know I am."

Kate then says: "We can't go back now. We can only go forward. And that's what we're going to do, and we're going to learn a lot going forward. And I know that we'll all come out of this on the other side, hopefully stronger, better, wiser."
